Morning everyone!
This morning’s blog comes to you from the west wing of my flat overlooking the patio outside my sheltered accommodation laundry, just for a change.
Today’s teaser was rather enjoyable and I am pleased that we seem to be settling into a nice pattern of enjoyable Saturday challenges. This feels like our original Mysteron setter – some cricketing references and the usual elegant clues.

Greetings from Lockdown Central in Warrington. It’s the Bank Holiday weekend and I guess this is probably going to be the hardest period of the lockdown. I hope you are all coping well and staying infection-free. I have been out of my flat twice in the last seven days; once for leg dressings with my nurse and the other for a click and collect shop that I’d booked almost four weeks ago!

Morning all
This blog comes to you courtesy of TransPennine Express as we hurtle over to the Elgar Birthday Bash in York, where many of the great and good (and a few not-so-good!) will be meeting to celebrate the birthday of the Tormentor known as Elgar, Nimrod and Enigmatist, or John to his friends. Incidentally, if you are a masochist for his puzzles, he is on duty today in the i Paper on the IQ slot, following yesterday’s mayhem in the Toughie. Continue reading “DT 29192 (Hints)”

Greetings. it’s that time of the month again. This time, I’m sitting in the Stretford Bridge Club, getting ready for our Committee Meeting at 10am. At this time of the year most bridge clubs start courses of lessons and we are no exception. If you’re in the Manchester area and would like to play this splendid game, contact me and I’ll let you have details. If you’ve always wanted to learn to play, contact your local club, chances are they will be starting a course soon. Continue reading “DT 29144 (Hints)”

Greetings once more from Jena!
The weather has broken slightly, and we had some rain yesterday, which cleared the air a little. Had a really interesting day in the Bauhaus and New Weimar museums looking at some of the amazing artworks from the period between the wars. Continue reading “Toughie 2273”
